Interview English

Do you have any questions for us?

A strong answer here gives one real, specific example — not a list of qualities — and delivers it at a pace an interviewer can actually follow. Try answering out loud first, in the recorder to the right, then compare.

A strong answer

What a strong answer does

Structure

How it's built

  1. 1Always have questions ready — "no, I think you covered it" reads as disengaged.
  2. 2Ask at least one question that could surface an honest downside, not only upside questions.
  3. 3Offer to trim your list for time — it shows awareness of the room, not just your own agenda.

Delivery

Ask these with real curiosity in your voice, not as a recitation — the tone is what separates this from a checklist.

Delivery

Pause slightly after each question to actually let them answer, rather than stacking two questions together.

Questions

Straight answers

How long should my answer be?

Aim for about 90 seconds, spoken naturally — long enough to give a real example, short enough that you don't lose the interviewer's attention. sayit's timer here is set to exactly that.

Do I have to follow the model answer word for word?

No — it's one strong way to answer, not a script to memorise. Borrow the structure and a few phrases if they help, but answer with your own real example; a memorised answer usually sounds memorised.

What does sayit actually check when I record my answer?

Your pace, pauses, filler words, and how closely each sound you produced matches its target — not whether your answer's content or structure was strong. Use the notes on this page for that part.
